Dreams and Relationships with Veronica Tonay

Every time Veronica Tonay comes to the Ranch to speak about dreams, I have to go. You see, I’m one of those people who has really vivid dreams. Almost like I’m living a different life. There have been times where I can’t remember if a conversation I had with someone happened in reality or in a dream. I consider myself lucky to have such active dreams. It used to be that my dreams exhausted me. I would have so many in one night and they would seem so real, it felt like I wasn’t getting any sleep at all some nights! Thankfully, I’ve learned how to curb that (thanks to some advice from Veronica) so now I can enjoy my dreams and get a good night’s sleep too.

The class I went to a couple of weeks ago was about dreams and relationships. I was really excited about this one because my relationships are a huge part of my dreams. They sometimes even affect my every day life! You know how sometimes you wake up after a particularly vivid dream that had bad vibes (or good vibes for that matter) and you can’t get it out of your head? It’s a strange phenomenon because we know it’s not real, however, sometimes dreams affect us like they are reality. I could go on and on about dreams, they fascinate me.

What I found so interesting about Veronica’s class is often when we’re dreaming and we come across a really strong personality that seems scary or intrusive, it’s a way our subconscious lets us know that this is something we need to work on within us, often not in the other person. For instance, dreams where we are being chased usually means that there is something in our consciousness which we find threatening. Often those are our own thoughts that we create. If you begin to write down your dreams in the morning, you may start to see a pattern which can help you resolve issues you might be having in your every day life. Watch the pattern of interactions and watch how you respond if someone is being negative to you. This may give you some insight into how you react to things.

If you’re interested in the dream world I highly recommend attending one of Veronica’s classes next time she’s here the week of September 7, 2013. In the meantime, you can check out her book and articles at VeronicaTonay.com.
